About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child! I’ve grown up with dogs, dog sat in my neighborhood, and have adored taking care of dogs. I work remote and would love to break up my day by walking your sweet puppy. I love large and small dogs alike. I would be honored to take care of your baby :) I currently work fully remote so I am super flexible with walking and pet sitting as needed! You let me know your needs, and I’ll make it work. I work from home so I can always have eyes on your pup and make sure they are happy and safe (and get a lot of cuddles). I have easy access to the outdoors and live less than 5 minutes from oz park.

I have a 1 year old pittie that he manages well and he’s even helped her with leash walking. Thank you, Eric! Couldn’t raise Tilly without you!”

My primary responsibilities have included walking, feeding, and giving medication to dogs. I am currently attending night courses in graduate school and I work part-time, which has allowed for my week-day schedule to remain open. I am also open to working on weekends. I will be unable to board pets in my apartment. However, I will travel to the pets as needed. Having worked with and owned animals all of my life, I can ensure safety and quality care of your pet.

About: I have grown up with a dog in my family my whole life! We have adopted and rescued smaller and larger dog breeds. Now I have adopted my own Australian Shepard named Captain while being in college! I have watched neighbors and friends’ dogs for long periods of time and make sure walks, proper eating, and play time are included in their daily activities! I am currently in flight school and used to be a sitter on Rover during my time at Ohio State University! I regularly take care of my dog and take him on walks and to the dog park! I would be good to work all throughout the week and weekend upon my calendar availabiltiy. I make sure I know where everything that is necessary is located. This includes treats, food, leashes, toys, etc. In my home I make sure there is constantly water in the bowl and plenty of play time is necessary, especially with the young ones! I also take the dogs on 1-2 walks daily to keep them exercised and tired at the end of the day!
Lincoln Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sara has been taking care of my cat and dog for 4 months now. I travel monthly and she stays with them when I’m gone in addition to walking my dog every day while I’m at work. She is very reliable, a consistent communicator and great with my babies. They love her and I trust her with them. Highly recommend!
Patrick has been walking our high-energy 1-year old corgi on a regular basis while my husband and I adjust to life with a newborn and does a fantastic job! He is prompt, very communicative, and clearly loves our pup. We’re go glad we found Patrick and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker for their dog
After only having my 3 year old skittish rescue for a week but needing to go back to work - I was anxious to leave him, but all my nerves were soothed when we met Katelyn and saw how calm, confident, and experienced she was! She’s done a great job with my rescue dog as he’s tackled new sounds of the city, weather, and contentious encounters with big dogs. I love knowing that not only is my dog getting a good walk, but also one where the handler is experienced! I also LOVE how communicate and thorough she is with her notes during and post walk. I’m looking forward to keeping Katelyn as my regular walker ❤️
